Actually, he manages a collection agency. He told me that the way he runs things is to never be abusive to the people you are trying to collect from. Try to get them to make some kind of payment arrangement. If they refuse to pay, he informs them that he will be suing them. Then he does. Once he has a judgment he will put a lien on the home or the car, or garnish the paycheque. He wants you to work with him, it's cheaper and easier for him. However if you won't pay your debt he will be a very pleasant and non confrontational kind of guy who will make you regret not working with him. A friend of mine is a collection agent.
